Tharoor Urges BCCI: No North India Matches During Fog Season, Play in South

  • Congress MP Shashi Tharoor called on BCCI to schedule cricket matches in South India from mid-December to mid-January.
  • He cited heavy fog and poor visibility in North India during this period, leading to match cancellations.
  • Tharoor's remarks followed the India vs South Africa T20 in Lucknow being called off due to dense smog and high AQI.
  • He emphasized that scheduling matches in foggy conditions "cheats cricket lovers" and suggested venues like Thiruvananthapuram.
  • Tharoor urged BCCI to consider weather conditions when planning match schedules.

Why It Matters: Tharoor asks BCCI to move winter matches to South India due to North's fog, citing fan disappointment.
